Among the difficulties ng #AfterModernity is that it will eventually chauffeur itself (albeit unconsciously siguro) to an irony.
May disdain sila na ang systematic theology ay Western pero pag pinagawa mo sila ng systematic theology nila, hindi sila makagawa kasi nga dahil dun sa disdain nila. Isa pa, duda ko kung makagawa nga ng theology na free from any Western influence. The hypocrisy pag sinundan mo ang train of thinking -- sa mga presuppositions, mga formulations nila, atbp -- mapapansin mo na mas Western pa sila mag isip: like yung self-designated na continental philosophy adherence nila, o di kaya'y yung commitment daw nila sa Trinity at sa mga Western traditions na kinabibilangan nila, like yung mga authors na kino-kowt nila, o di kaya yung critical theory nila. Western na western.
I mean isn't that ironic? Kaya nga sabi ko dati, "Why don't you just shut up?"
Bottom line I think it is just virtue signalling, yung maghu-hook sa moral elitism tapos gagamitin yun na stepping stone sa anumang self-advertisement when in fact they are the very icon of what they are against.
